Ireland

"The most eventful and tumultuous century in Irish history is examined by Terence Brown. This revised edition of his seminal historical text includes substantial new material, and a new index." "Brown traces the development of modern Ireland through nationalism, industrialization, religion, language revival and censorship combined with an assessment of the major literary and artistic advances accomplished in this climate. This is an innovative and illuminating study of an emergent nation that is as relevant and perceptive now as it was upon its original publication in 1981."--BOOK JACKET.
